Rhododendron 'Dawn's Early Light'
Common name:
rhododendron
Family:
Ericaceae (heath)
Life form:
Shrub
Description:
From Rare Find Website: Named for Hank's daughter Dawn, it is a compact grower, with large blooms of barium yellow and a touch of green that are much earlier and larger than any of our other R. keiskei hybrids. It's hard to believe the authenticity of this cross by looking at the plant. Both parents are yellow, and the resemblance to R. keiskei is completely obvious, but there is little other evidence of the R. xanthocodon parent. We can vouch for its cold hardiness, as it has thrived and bloomed in cold central MA
